Santoni “Bow In The Presence of Greatness” is a well comprised mixtape featuring industry tracks as well as original productions. It is one of those “press play and let it play” compilations. The tittle is truly testament to the artist on the wax. He is great in every sense of the word, being one of SC’s most lyrical and talented MC’s to date. His wordplay and use of witty metaphoric references really captivates one who listens while relating to his real life some times gruesome topics. Track 3 and 5 of this mixtape should defiantly be shopped to major labels for they have the ability to take over the airways, but overall this is just a great piece of art and we can only hope that J. Santoni continues giving us Jewels like this. originality creativity hit quality sound quality lyrical quality 4.6 Overall Rating 4.8 Overall Rating Jesse Davis’s “Just the Beginning” mixtape speaks to the truthful fact that he is just getting started taking over and industry that is void of lyrical content. In a game where it’s not cool to be the smart guy or to actually use parts of speech such as metaphors to portray your message through song. Jesse Davis has comprised a mixtape full of nothing but in you face hard hitting punchlines and metaphors. He is expected to change the face of mainstream hip hop giving way to the bubble gum rap on the air ways today. The track ‘More Than Rapping” signifies that its not about the fame and dollars bills but about the lives he can change with his music. Jesse Davis is a dope artist and I love this mixtape. originality Southern Plug Magazine creativity hit quality sound quality CarolinaHipHopCultureMagazine.com lyrical quality Page 4
